Puppy Lifeskills & Manners
Our puppy class is held in our clean, safe, indoor area. Your instructor will use positive reinforcement and management to teach foundational obedience skills, socialization, and build confidence in your puppy.
During this class you will learn to understand your puppy’s body language while socializing them to new objects, people, sounds, surfaces, and body handling. You will explore common problem behaviors such potty training, puppy mouthing and jumping and gain an understanding of how to prevent resource guarding and separation anxiety. You will practice basic foundational skills such as focus, sit, down, walking nicely, and come when called.
Prerequisites: None! Our Puppy Class is open to puppies under 20 weeks of age at the start date listed below. Puppies must be up-to-date on their vaccinations, having received their first round of shots at least 1 week prior to the class start date.
